Yeppers:
The product is manufactured from 100% wood.  At no point during any part
of the process is any other substance, other than clean water, blended in
with the raw material.
 
Raw material for the product is almost exclusively Pine Whitewood, with
portions of White Fir at times.  Raw material is sourced only from
sawmills in which no preservative/anti-stain chemicals are used at any
point.  During manufacturing of the product, raw material has essentially
been sterilized.  Material is dried for up to thirty minutes at a range of
8000F down to 1450F at the conclusion of the drying process.  The product
is then subjected to approximately 20-30,000 PSI pressure, increasing
temperature back up to approximately 2000F prior to cooling to room
temperature.  White pine and white fir are low in sap so this should be
safe for all.
 
Be well,
Ray
